The assertion that intermarriage is beginning to spread in the Jewish colonies in the district of Krivoy Rog was made in reports of a delegation of Russian workers sent to the Colonies. The delegation was sent to investigate whether the Jews themselves work the land or hire laborers to cultivate the fields for them.
